| The first story, "Hearts And Flowers" is extremely subtle, and quite different in its portrayal of the classic love triangle. Interesting read overall |
|
| The scan is missing a page from the last story, "To a Waiting Doom". This has to be the scanner's mistake. If a page were torn out of the comic, two pages would be missing -- one page on each side of the missing sheet of paper. |

| In 1958 they were giving a colour TV as a prize?
Must have been very desirable at that time. |
|
| Today I purchased a copy of this on eBay. I don't have a scanner, but maybe I can take it to FedEx Office or somewhere, and I'll be able to upload a complete, cover-to-cover scan. |

| Hi Betty, If you could just scan the last page of "To a Waiting Doom" that would be great! |
